the FACTS are that NOT EVEN ONE intentional atrocity happened at Camp Sumpter, not even ONE. (source: the records of the OFFICIAL US ARMY Prisoner of War Center at Andersonville.) there WAS a lot of illness & deaths from poor hygiene, but those deaths were caused by nothing to feed the POWs & MOSTLY a misunderstanding of the causes of diseases in that era.
otoh, TENS of THOUSANDS of helpless POWs were INTENTIONALLY tortured/assaulted/denied medical care/denied clothing/denied food and, all too frequently, MURDERED in cold-blood by the DY fiends that ran those HELLHOLES. those are the FACTS, whether you wish to know them or not!
the INESCAPABLE conclusion is that lincoln, the TYRANT, & his coven of thugs were WAR CRIMINALS, pure & simple. they deserved hanging.

I have to give you credit. No reb on Free Republic has the style that you do. You are the JEB Stuart of FR secessionists. When most the Confederates on this board take off like Bragg's army from Missionary Ridge, ol stand stands his ground.
